Computed tomography (CT) scans capture computer-processed x-ray images of a particular object. Similar to traditional x-rays, they allow us to see inside without opening the object.
Did you know that CT scans are more advanced than x-rays? A CT scan can take multiple images from different angles and produce cross-sectional results for a deeper, more detailed viewing of the inside of the object. At Implant Center of Miami, we rely on CT scans to identify patient problems and to help our patients maintain good oral health.
CT scans are incredibly beneficial for diagnosing a variety of medical conditions. By using a CT scan, doctors can get a clear image of the inside of the body, which can help them to determine the cause of a problem and develop a treatment plan. Some of the benefits of CT scans include:
At Implant Center of Miami, we use Sirona 3D Imaging. While a 3D CT scan can take panoramic x-rays, a CT scan is different from a pano because it is three-dimensional. It allows us to see the width of the bone as well as the length of the bone. So, our CT scan can actually measure, to the 10th of a millimeter, the bone. This is important because an x-ray is about 70% accurate, and it doesn't allow us to measure the bone. With a CT scan, we know exactly how many millimeters the nerve is from where we're going to place the implant. We also know exactly how healthy the sinus is before we do a sinus graft for an implant.
If you or someone you know is experiencing health problems, it is important to get a CT scan to help determine the cause. CT scans are a quick, easy, and accurate way to help diagnose a variety of medical conditions, and can help to ensure you get the treatment you need. Contact us to schedule your scan!
